Dietary: No Added Sugar, Nut Free, Vegetarian

Equipment

  • frying pan or sandwich press

Ingredients

  • 2 cups haloumi cheese grated
  • 2 carrots peeled and grated
  • 2 small zucchini / baby marrow grated
  • ½ cup fresh parsley finely chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4-5 pitas

Instructions

  • Combine the grated haloumi, carrots, zucchini and parsley in a large bowl. Add a spot of salt and pepper and mix well.
  • Cut the pitas in half to create semi-circles and carefully split to form pockets.
  • Stuff each pocket with the haloumi and vegetable mixture; but don’t overstuff as it’ll fall out.
  • To cook, heat some olive oil or butter in a large frying pan. Add the pita – 1 full pita or 2 halves at a time and cook for 5 minutes, each side; pressing down gently with a spatula. The pita will be golden brown and crisp and the haloumi melted. Alternatively, you can also cook them in a sandwich press until the haloumi is melted and pita golden brown.
  • Serve hot.
